Plants produce eggs and sperm. In certain plants, like those of thephyla Coniferophyta (your basic pines), the eggs and/or sperm are contained in cones. Therefore cones are not sex cells, they are more like carriers of gametes.
It doesn't. Aflowering plant produces flowers and seeds that fall of and produce more plants.
pine trees
gymnosperms
Apple trees produce apple blossoms, which when pollinated, then produce the fruit. Only trees with needles produce cones with seeds, some of which are edible, but not as fruit -- as nuts.
They don't produce flowers, they produce ame and female cones.
Most Gymnosperms are diecious with the male and female reproductive organs on different plants. The male "flower" produces pollen and the female "flower" contains the ovary. Many female gymnosperms produce cones that house the fertilized eggs until the seeds are mature.
They are called conifers, or having cones.
Plants such as pine trees, spruce trees, firs, and hemlocks produce cones as a way to disperse their seeds. Plants like oak trees, beech trees, chestnut trees, and hazelnut bushes produce nuts as a way to reproduce.
Conifers produce seeds through the process of pollination. Male cones release pollen grains that are carried by the wind to female cones. Once the pollen fertilizes the eggs within the female cones, seeds develop and are eventually dispersed for germination.

Plants that produce separate male and female cones, producing microspores and megaspores, are primarily gymnosperms, particularly conifers such as pines, spruces, and firs. In these plants, male cones generate microspores that develop into male gametophytes (pollen), while female cones produce megaspores that develop into female gametophytes, which contain the ovules. This reproductive strategy allows for the efficient production of gametes and subsequent fertilization in a wind-pollinated environment.
In cones, female cones produce the seed and male cones produce the pollen
